Start being honest with your mother.
Bring friends and b/f over to meet your parents if they haven't been coming already, even if it's just once.
Just keep up with your room, homework, etc. and ask your mother if she needs help with any of her cleaning at least once a week.
Ask your mother if you and her can just spend a couple of hours together one day, maybe go to a movie or the mall.
Chances are your parents are detecting your lying and are lashing back at you for it because they are sick of it.

Sounds like my home life as a teen. My mother always complained about everything that she had to do for me and my dad was always working. When I would have a choir concert or something I wouldn't tell her about it because then she would complain about having to go. And then get mad when she had to get ready.. and all of that bull. You need to just wait until you are 18. that is my only advice. My parents are now divorced and I talk to my dad all of the time.. but not so much to my mom. I am now 20 with a daughter of my own.. and all I can do is break the cycle and not treat my daughter the same. sorry if my advice is not what you wanted to hear..... but its all I got. I am sorry to hear about your story. I will pray for you.

Tell the parents thetruth about what you are doing. Be helpful at home and maybe your mum will not yell at you.Maybe your parents need more time so let them know earlier when you need to go somewhere.Give them advance notice and show them some appreciation of the things they do for you.

Stop "forgetting" to tell your Mom things, start cleaning your room, and stop making up stories! Just maybe your friends clean their rooms and tell their parents what they're doing and that's why their parents do things with them!

Time to grow up.. Start helping your Mother and doing more things around your home... AND stop lieing.
